    Tomorrow at The Vagabond: POP GLOW + Laura (Of Miami)

    posted by Lolo

    In addition to all the regular reasons to come to Fridays at The Vagabond (great music, cheap drinks, nice people), this week we are excited to bring you two extra-awesome bonus incentives!

    Orlando’s POP GLOW arose from the ashes of Joy Division tribute band par excellence 3 One G, who summoned Ian Curtis & co at The Vagabond many moons ago.  Pop Glow has a decidedly brighter future, making super-catchy, bouncy, vocoded electropop.  Pop Glow play live in the main room at midnight!  (It’s also worth noting that later this month they’re playing the Total Bummer festival in Gainesville, which looks like anything but!)

    Following Pop Glow, DJ extraordinaire LAURA (OF MIAMI) from WVUM will rock the decks in the main room!  She’s got impeccable taste and is absolutely one of the best selectors in the city.  If you haven’t heard her yet, here’s your chance.  Read a great article about her here, check out her blog, and listen to WVUM on Mondays from 5-7 to hear her fabulous “Vamos A La Playa” show.

    RSVP on Facebook and see you Friday!

    P.S. The Miami Critical Mass BIKE PROM ends at The Vagabond this Friday so dress up and ride out!

    The Wave Pictures + Ray Milian’s Birthday

    posted by Lolo

    Tonight at The Vagabond we celebrate our good friend RAY MILIAN‘s Birthday! Ray has been a staple of Miami’s indie nightlife since the jump, as one of the founding members of Poplife. After originating as a party, he created the amazing Off The Radar blog, one of the best places to find new music online. He’s been our always awesome Fridays Main Room Resident DJ since we started two years ago, while holding down residencies at (786) and Chocolate Sundays at Purdy Lounge, Back Door Bamby, and dropping by (((SHAKE))) for his monthly Freestyle sets. Let’s pay tribute to this man who’s made you dance for so many years!

    Our special guests from the UK, THE WAVE PICTURES, are stopping by on their North American tour before heading over to SXSW where they are named one of Spin’s Must-Hear Bands. See them live tonight before they blow up out there!

    “The Wave Pictures are currently conjuring some of the most gleeful magnificent pop in town.”
    -The Guardian

    “Lyrically, The Wave Pictures turn on a dime. They can zip from the richly observed  into amusingly confessional into a Lewis Carol flight of fancy.”
    -NME
